De Gaulle will not him-self sign the test ban, in his press conference on Monday he gave it his blessing: "The Moscow agreement which has been concluded between the Anglo-Saxons and the Russians appears satisfactory to us and we even share in the joy so eloquently expressed by President Kennedy concerning this Washington University hat re ceived a $500,000 grant from trn Ford Foundation to strengthen its program in international ies, it was announced todays Chancellor Thomas H.

The explanation began with an acknowledgment, more explicit than wiy previous one, that at the present time and for some years to come the peace of the world rests on the balance of nuclear power between the Soviet Union and the United States. That is why the Moscow agreement to stabilize the existing balance of forces is an event in which every country, including France, fr would establish Latin American 4 De Gaulle Br Put-Diapatch Photographer and African studies prograMSr The programs will be built atpund faculty members who are already research specialists in those" areas, he said.

AMBASSADOR AKRES QUITS TO TAKE POST IN CAPITAL WASHINGTON, Aug.

1 (AP) The White House announced yesterday the resignation of Anthony B. Akres as United States ambassador to New Zealand. In accepting the resignation, President John F. Kennedy wrote Akres that he was "delighted you are going to be able to continue your service in Washington." Other than to say that Akres would hold a government job, press secretary Pierre Salinger would give no indication of what it might be. Akres, a New York lawyer, has been ambassador to New Zealand for about two years.

He was active in the Kennedy presidential campaign. MRS. LULU TALLEY DIES; IOWA MINISTER'S WIDOW Mrs. Lulu Talley, widow of the Rev. M.

ROY BROWN FUNERAL TO BE HELD TOMORROW Funeral services for Roy J. Brown, chairman of the executive advisory committee and former president of the R. J. Brown a division of the STUDY BEGUN ON IMPACT OF PAROCHIAL EDUCATION CHICAGO, Aug. 1 (UPI)-A nation-wide survey was launched today to measure the effect of parochial education on United States Catholics.

The Rev. Andrew M. Greeley, a member of the National Opinion Research Center at the University of Chicago, said the survey will seek to determine "whether there is a special moral flavor which is imparted to parochial school pupils." The study, financed by a grant from the Carnegie Ashland Oil and Refining will be at 2 p.m. tomorrow at the Ambruster undertaking estab PREVIEW IS HELD BY FAMOUS-BARR IN SOUTH COUNTY Civic leaders, public officials and representatives of news media were given a preview of the new Famous-Barr South County store last night. The store will be opened officially with a ribbon-cutting ceremony tomorrow at noon.

Stanley J. Goodman, president and general manager of Famous-Barr and Harvey Shapiro, store manager, showed guests through the two-level store, the company's fourth suburban store in the St. Louis area. The department store will be the main feature in the new $10,000,000 South County Shopping Center on the south side is bound to rejoice. It is within the shelter of the USSR-USA nuclear truce that the General is conducting French policy.

Given the nuclear truce, the critical question for him is how subsequent relations with the Western Alliance and relations with the East are to be conducted. The burden of the General's remarks was that while the specific nuclear agreement could be made, indeed had to be made, by the "Anglo-Saxons" nd the Russians, nothing else pertaining to the future of Europe should be left to the British and the Americans to negotiate. The General, therefore, is opposed to a non-aggression pact and to anything else relating to accommodation or settlement in Central Europe. THE REJECTION OF BRITISH and American leadership In European affairs arises from the General's experience with that leadership since the early days of the second World War. The principal disqualification of the Anglo-Saxons as leaders of Europe is that, since they are not Europeans, they do not understand Europe and cannot be relied upon to defend and promote European interests.

The General, who has the memory of an elephant, has not forgiven or forgotten the unhappy story of our relations with France during and after the second World War. Although he acknowledges that the United Stater his protected Western Europe since the end of that war, and is still for some years to come an indispensable protector of Western Europe, he is convinced that the time is approaching when the United States cannot be relied upon to provide adequate protection to Western Europe. ON THIS CRUCIAL POINT the convictions of Gen. De Gaulle and the assurances of President Kennedy conflict. When the President announced in Germany that the United States would risk its cities to defend European cities, the response of Gen.

De Gaulle was that no American President can make a promise of that kind which will bind his successor. We must remember that the General is not talking atout 1963 or even about 1967. He is thinking about the 1970s and after, surely he is justified in saying that John F. Kennedy today ru make no effective promise for that far in the future. Nevertheless, it is that somewhat distant future which must concern a French statesman who is only doing his duty by looking ahead.

FOR MY OWN PART, I can find no fault in the logic of the argument. There is, however, a serious blank space in the policy which goes with the argument. Supposing that it will take France 10 years to become an important nuclear power, what is to happen to East-West relations during the 10-year interval? Does the West have to stand still, does it have to remain diplomatically Immobilized, until France and the Europe it leads are properly armed? Are the Anglo-Saxons, working with the West Europeans, forbidden to explore and if possible to negotiate about the security of Europe? If the General says that we may not do this, will he take the initiative in exploring and negotiating? As I read the General's press conference with its array of things which he will not do and of the things he does not want us to do, I wish someone at the pres3 conference had had a chance to ask him whether he thought East-West relations could remain frozen and in suspense until he is ready to deal with them.

Although he never became President, he has an enduring place in the history of the Republican party and in the memory of the American people.

Perhaps the detached judgment of later scholars will question his inclusion among the five greatest Senators and will re- electric jinm dlHH HI nr t. rlh lif IMl TREMENMUSLY If gard the memorial to him on Capitol Hill as a premature tribute. But the contemporaries of a statesman, familiar with his problems and aware of the inevitable limitations of the age, have a right to their own verdict. Of Senator Taft, it can be said with justice that his insights were more important than his antipathies, and his defects were far outweighed by his virtues. He was never the invulnerable Republican, because his career was never impregnable to criticism, but he as- Today! Friday and Saturday Only!

What is the vital difference between Senator Taft's type of conservative Republicanism and the conservatism made popular today by Senator Goldwater? There may be no agreement on this point but it seems to me that Senator Taft quite often responded to the challenge of a specific proposal, whereas Senator Goldwater is more interested in maintaining the consistency of his political doctrines. Few surprises exist in the voting record of Senator Goldwater but in Senator Taft's career there were interesting liberal departures from the conservasive pattern.

NO CRITICISM OF SENATOR Goldwater is Intended by this comparison. A political figure is entitled to respect when he speaks his convictions without an eye on the Gallup Poll and without servile fear of popular prejudice. Senator Gold-water certainly passes that test. In fact, he stood alone in the Senate and spread his conservative opinions long before there was an organized conservative movement in the country. Despite Gov.

Rockefeller's charges, it is quite wrong to mix up the John Birchers and the Right with this movement. These mischievous minorities i the enemies of conservatism as they are of Republicanism. We merely play their game when we treat them as a serious influence in national politics, as Gov. Rockefeller has done. They cannot be very important in San Francisco next summer unless all the self-respecting Republicans stay away from the nominating convention.

THE REALLY INTERESTING question is not why Senator Goldwater appeals to these silly people but why the conservative case is so popular now. A conservative convulsion can be expected if the Democrats have enjoyed so many years in office; or if there has been massive corruption; or if the economy has been utterly mismanaged; or if a blundering foreign policy has led to defeats and retreats. The present conservative protest is not fed from these roots. In essence it has two guiding principles. It cannot believe that all this American effort and sacrifice can have produced no better result in world affairs than a precarious balance which weaves uncertainly between deceptive periods of truce.

At home it sees the American people at the mercy of big governments, big budgets, big deficits, big trade unions, and now big demonstrations. At one and the same time it underestimates the complexities of our problems, both domestic and foreign, and overestimates the power of American action to change the course of events. This fatal facility for giving simple answers to complex questions, combined with an exploitation of a public feeling of fatigue and weariness after years of sacrifice, enable the conservatives to be so fertile of criticism, so barren of constructive proposals. But with all their mistakes and puerilities, these conservatives have touched a deep chord in the public mind.
